LOWBOY is a jazz-fusion band from Madison, WI. The trio consists of pianist Malik Staude, bassist Elliot Jewell, and drummer Josh Marineau. The band formed in early 2024 and has been active in the local Madison music scene ever since. Their uniquely special shows include intricate melodies, improvisational jams and funky grooves. Between the trio’s strong interpersonal chemistry and high-energy sound, it’s hard to resist the urge to dance and GET LOW with LOWBOY! LOWBOY takes inspiration from other groups like Snarky Puppy, Vulfpeck, and CASIOPEA, where genres blend together and the sound is… hard to put into words. They like to combine genres and play with different time signatures and feels. This brings elements of prog music, sprinkled with a little bit of jazz and lots of funk to make it unique, catchy, and fun to listen to.
